If you grew up on the #rasta music I grew up on (and u were listening to the lyrics) none of what we’re seeing is a surprise. Our music is literally THE TRUTH. This is why I refuse to give up control of our music to them. #GateKeepOurShit
@Allsundance @EqualityEd@tariqnasheed False equivalence coz neither @tariqnasheed or black people had a 500 year head start by blocking white people from wealth building, so even if he didn’t hire white people it still wouldn’t have the same impact. In this system that white person can just go and get another job
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana They do but TV & Radio did a number on people’s psyche. Remember until the net, white society controlled the media and decided which voice gets amplified and which didn’t. For example it’s only recently acknowledged Police lie, B4 the net we couldn’t get no-1 to believe us
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana I get what ur saying, Nas once said Hitler was a genius and I think he meant it in the same context as ur speaking. I personally think evil can be seen as cunning, conniving, manipulative, but not genius. Evil genius maybe, a lot of people make that mistake, Genius is a higher….
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana I completely agree with u again (it’s becoming a habit). From a black perspective we get murdered by the state (U.K. & U.S.) regardless of which side is in power. 2 sides of the same coin. Both sides serve 1 master and it ain’t us
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana Billie Holiday would probably be my inspiration if I were an African American woman. She was a rider who truly overcame and stayed repping her people
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana Depending on the book, there is just as much bullshit in certain history books ( where’d u think Google gets it from). I got my knowledge from talking to Rastas, they were right the whole time, none of what’s happening surprises me, the only surprise is da accuracy of their info
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana I think that’s the biggest mistake black people make. I agree we should study them but never to replicate but purely to protect ourselves from such evil.
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana Jose Baker, I can see why u’d draw from her, trail blazer, on 1 hand I get the impression she was aware of her blackness but on the other hand I felt like she was also trying to run away from it
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana Yeah but you seem to find inspiration in women who don’t have a moral compass. Why? U seem intelligent enough to know how that ends, shit just look at how the world is because of those people. Kris pimped her own child now that’s child abuse
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana Lizzy death will hold no weight because society (especially young society) has moved on. The monarchy is super outdated, elites are always the last to understand that. No one really gives a fuck about her death over here. The press have to keep dressing up this bullshit but wdgaf
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana Totally agree. It comes down to greed of course that shit seems to be a hell of a drug. It has these heads of state fucking up their own economy to enrich the top 1% but it’s not sustainable we’re in the Information Age now so it’s harder to work brain on people
@trouverparadise@george_works@sifanelepotwana So it’s safe to say ur a woman of colour (although I can’t stand that term) so why not find inspiration from a Harriet Tubman or women from ur Native ancestry? Or is it the high society looking down at other aspect that u like about the queen?
